Hypertrophy for the Block Start: Protein Timing
Strategic protein dosing to maximize fast-twitch muscle hypertrophy and power output required for an explosive block start in the 100m.
Why this matters
An explosive block start in the 100m or 100m hurdles is a display of absolute, neurological power.

The Hypertrophy Pulsing Timeline
Pulse 1 (08:00)
The Breakfast Trigger
30-40g Protein. (Example: 4 whole eggs + Greek yogurt). Opens the MPS window for ~3 hours.
Pulse 2 (12:00)
The Lunch Trigger
30-40g Protein. (Example: Chicken breast sandwich). Re-triggers MPS as the morning window closes.
Pulse 3 (15:30)
The Post-Lift Trigger
30-40g Protein. (Example: Whey protein isolate shake). Critical structural repair window immediately following heavy weight room sessions…
Pulse 4 (19:30)
The Dinner Trigger
30-40g Protein. (Example: Salmon or lean steak). Final structural supply before overnight fasting.
